THURSDAY. Maybe take today to learn something new? Like, hey, take up gardening! Or learn Sudoku! Study woodworking! Wield a flea market katana! Practice exploding people& #39;s hearts with your newfound psionic powers! Congratulations, YOU JUST JOINED NINJA PSYFORCE OMEGA, ESPERNAUT

(By the way, more seriously, you don& #39;t actually have to learn any new shit in this god-fucked timeline. Anybody telling you about how productive you can and must become is a monger of toxic positivity and they can get stuffed.)

People keep asking me how productive I& #39;m being, like, am I writing a lot and getting things done and it& #39;s like hahaaahahahaha what, no, jesus, a thousand times no. I consider the fact I& #39;m "staying hydrated" as gods damn Herculean triumph.

I have [secret book] now needing edits, just rolled in this week, so I& #39;m actually going to have to like, clench up and get some stuff done -- but it& #39;s hard. It& #39;s hard in every direction. And I say that being a relatively privileged, fortunate person -- and it& #39;s still hard.

You do what you can do, and this is not (for me, anyway), the time to push. There& #39;s a time to do that work and tear muscle to build new muscle, but I think now, you& #39;re just gonna break yourself if you push to hard. So, don& #39;t break yourself. The world& #39;s already breaking.
